When I've needed it DT's where I go for the answers to life's big mysteries... So here I am.

I'm having a SCSI nightmare. I've got an A3000 hooked up via SCSI to my (influx's!!!) scsi zip drive. The Zip is hooked up to the PC. The PC sees the sampler and the Zip and reads from disks in the zip! No worries, right? hehehe

So when I try to use Recycle, Sound Forge 5.0 or Yamaha's Tiny Wave Editor to look at the sampler, the system crashes, HARD! No warning, no blue screen, just BOOM! The SCSI card is a Siig AP10, their website says winXP already has the proper drivers so it's not that (I hope)...

I've never had probs like this with SCSI before. All the terminations are correct. I really do know what I'm doing outside of the obvious headache this has become.

Any tech heads with knowledge or suggestions would be extremely appreciated! Thanks...

tuff one... good luck with that, I've got no clues apart from juglging the order of things and making sure your id numbers are set correct I think there is some protocol revolving around id's above & below id6 - can't remember what it is tho, anyone?.. is it the master device stays on 6? and things go above or below that? - damn! - i read this somewhere (not being a scsi expert)

The pain here is that I've used this same config in my old computer with the same ID's and same hardware. Just won't work on XP!!!

Nothing does, I hate it and I want it to go away! Hehehehe.

I think you're thinking that the conroller ID is generally ID 6, and the boot drive is generally ID 5.

I am certainly no SCSI expert though. Does it work without the Zip drive in the loop? I always had problems with MESA and my Akai S2000 when the zip drive was in the chain.

As positive as I can be! It reads zip disks from the Zip drive and it recognizes the sampler. This leads me to believe there's some communication going on...

I'll try taking the ZIP out of the loop. It worked on the old computer though...

This is why I rag on and on about hardware being superior. Just shuffling samples back and forth isn't worth this headache...

Thanks for the suggestions...

one of the cables could be bad in there, too.
